Carsten Hjort Lange From Hannibal to Sulla

The Birth of Civil War in Republican Rome

Series: Studies in Ancient Civil War 1

January 2024

English, XII, 218 pp.

ISBN 978-3-11-133309-0

From the outbreak of the Second Punic War to the Social War, the Romans had prolonged debates about the changing nature of warfare. The Second Punic War was a war of survival against Rome’s great enemy, Carthage, but also saw its subjectallies rebel on a large scale, equalling an internal war within the polity of Rome. This monograph proposes that this internal war was a natural step in the invention of the concept of civil war.

Carthage was one of antiquity’s most successful cities. It was founded, destroyed, refounded, and conquered before falling into ruin; since the 20th century, it has once again become a city. Briefly the seat of a colonial archdiocese, it is now home to the Tunisia’s presidential residence and is also a world cultural heritage site. Carthage traces this three-thousand-year history of settlement on the basis of extensive archaeological studies.

This study examines a previously overlooked group of people from the time of Amenhotep III (1390–53 BCE), who have come into focus since the latest excavations in the Valley of the Kings and the Theban Necropolis: royal daughters and foreign women who lived together at the Pharaoh's court, traveled with the ruler, performed ritual tasks, and were ultimately buried together. Together they formed a lifestyle, work, and cultural community.

The ›magister equitum‹ in the Roman Republic

The Evolution of an Extraordinary Magistracy

Series: KLIO / Beihefte. Neue Folge 38

January 2024

English, IX, 174 pp.

ISBN 978-3-11-133858-3

This book analyses the magister equitum, the subordinate to the Roman dictator, focusing on three core questions: What were the powers of the office? What senatorial rank did it hold? And how did it evolve under the first century BCE dictators, Sulla and Caesar? The book argues that this extraordinary office and its occupants played (and was seen by contemporaries to have) a major role in crucial moments of Roman history and was central to the Republican constitution.

This is the first Anthology ever to present a representative selection of poems in ancient Greek written by European scholars, erudites and amateurs since the return of Greek language and culture in humanistic times. A major cultural indicator of the spreading of Greek culture in the West beyond political and religious boundaries, this kind of poetry, which in some places is still alive even today, also yields some so far neglected masterpieces.

(English Edition)

Building by Intuition – from Bangladesh to Europe and Beyond

July 2024

English, Approx. 144 pp., 60 fig.

ISBN 978-3-0356-2854-8

According to Anna Heringer, “Beauty has nothing to do with money or finance, but everything to do with creativity and love”. With statements like this she clearly has her finger on the pulse of our time, judging by the packed lecture halls, international awards such as the 2007 Aga Kahn Award or the 2020 OBEL Award, and exhibitions at MoMA, MAM Sao Paulo, and the Venice Biennale.

She shares with us the insight that clay is not only an environmentally friendly material, but in the best cases it can even trigger socially beneficial processes.

Children who live in towns and cities need spaces where they can freely play, explore and encounter other children. Today, many children suffer from obesity, developmental disorders and social disabilities. The causes include lack of exercise, lack of safety and insufficient stimulation.

This book offers professionals and interested laypeople a practical tool to make quick and direct decisions on issues of architecture and planning relating to children. The topics include urban and traffic planning, architecture and landscaping, the use of materials and plants, participation, and prevention. 160 drawings illustrate the topics and center them on children and their experiences.

Architektur alpiner Sicherheit

Lawinenverbauung zwischen Technologie und Ästhetik

July 2024

German, 400 pp., 189 fig.

ISBN 978-3-422-80167-7

The book looks at current technical measures to protect against natural hazards such as avalanches as the production of safety zones that function in the field of tension between aesthetics and technology. The fundamental issue is the clash between massive technical development to secure our settlement and tourism areas on the one hand and the "image of the Alps", which always seems to remain the same, on the other.

English, Approx. 80 pp., 80 fig.

ISBN 978-3-0356-2747-3

In these times of climate change, the effects of climatic conditions on the composition of building materials, components and structures are coming to the fore alongside the use of resource-efficient materials. Of particular importance is the role of thermal insulation in structural physics. Approaches such as reducing heat influx, using design features to prevent interior cooling in low outdoor temperatures, and the choice of materials can reduce the need for energyintensive air conditioning. This volume looks at various objectives of thermal insulation, grounded in principles of structural physics, materials science, and structural design.

To understand the evolution of language in the context of deep human history, interdisciplinary work between linguists and scientists from other disciplines (e.g., psychology, archaeology, biology, anthropology, or chemistry) is needed. The book aims to calibrate work on human evolution to trace out a scientific story of language that has plausibility while remaining open to change through new linguistic and non-linguistic discoveries.

A recent turn in applied linguistics calls for a more transdisciplinary framework for second language acquisition that embeds sociocultural, sociomaterial, ideological, and emotional dimensions at all levels of analysis. Using this framework, the empirical studies in this volume apply Bakhtin’s constructs of language play and heteroglossia to the study of multilingual speech in a range of social situations and second language teaching contexts.

In on the Joke presents a new approach to humor ethics: "Joke capital" can serve as "comic insurance" covering certain jokes in certain contexts. You can get joke capital via different routes—inheritance, earning, borrowing, or reparations.
